Last night at the Erie insurance Arena, a London fan attacked an Erie fan, in section 213. When this guy attacked the fan it was near the railing. However, in attacking the fan, he managed to pin my nephew against the railing. It was hard enough where my nephew had marks from the railing on his chest and shoulder.

Total lack of class.

Who would win in a fight? The Pillsbury Dough Boy or the Hamburger Helper Glove??

Classless act by London Fan last night

And I'm sure the Erie fan did nothing to provoke the attack.

Not saying either party is right. However, like many cases, there are 3 sides to every story:

Yours, mine, and somewhere wedged in there is the truth.

In this case, the London fan, the Erie fan, and the truth.

I just LOVE being lumped in with these "fans". I mean, one bad apple, and we all suffer.

Never happens anywhere else. Same classy fans booing Max Domi when the kid is hurt.

Seeing the Knights knock the Spits out of the playoffs three years in a row...PRICELESS

That's sort of my problem. I do kind of take it personally. If you have a problem with my team, then you have a problem with ME.

That's probably what set me off, ORYX. It's likely because I have my 'blinders' on. That is, all I hear about is "London fan did this" or "London fans did that". Do I hear about what Petes fans or Frontenacs fans do (or don't do)? Likely, but I think nothing of it.

Not saying this claim is baseless though.

True. Mind you, hearing some stories and experiencing the the atmosphere in Erie twice, it wouldn't surprise me. But, I wasn't there, so....I dunno. Then again, the first time I went down, I was a heavily camouflaged Knights fan. So, that doesn't count.

Hope the kid is alright!

Agreed!

Don't like to see anyone hurt in a place where we should be enjoying ourselves.....DARN IT!

If I may be forgiven a generalization, Erie fans remind me of the extras in the movie "Idiocracy". Are you sure it wasn't two Erie fans fighting? Perhaps they were arguing about what to do after the game...one insisted on watching an episode of Duck Dynasty while the other was keen on watching Nascar. Who knows?
